English abstract:
European high-speed trains already provide an alternative to inter-European flights on short routes
(500 - 1000 km). However, to date high-speed trains have been mainly limited to daytime routes. Targeted use of overnight trains could also enable rail to provide a genuine alternative to air travel for distances up to 2000 km. This article highlights the potential for using high-speed overnight trains in Europe.
